We bought our 115 yr old victorian 2 yrs ago. The house had been sitting vacant for several years and quite overgrown. First summer, I planted some gardens to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This spring we dug a 1,500 gal pond. I had to move all the plants I planted last year to a new "holding" spot until deciding where they would stay. I have been babying them for a couple months now only to realize one of the plants I have been waiting to bloom (because I forgot what it was) is a "burr bush"! Sorry I don't know the technical name for it, but I do know the front of my shirt took several minutes to clean off after trimming it back and it is a weed! Don't fertilize weeds :)

The other transplants look great (and they are not weeds) and the pond is one of the best back breaking projects I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying!
